Information and Communication Technologies in the context of social organizations, enhance the definition of strategies to optimize the use of Information Systems in order to provide better support services to their users. The paper presents a real case of optimizing the current information system of a social organization in which it proposes to develop an integrative and multidisciplinary prototype incorporating sustainability concerns in the context of sustainable development objectives to improve cooperation between the Institution and its users. The methodology adopted was based on the literature review of the thematic and the case study. The main results point to the added value that a multidisciplinary and aggregator prototype can constitute in order to incorporate sustainability concerns in the technical, environmental, social, economic and individual fields.

“…Engineering stands as a field in which the application of critical pedagogy can be particularly beneficial for students, given that it is a profession with a very clear civic vocation, in so far as its final aim is to respond to collective needs across a wide range of areas within society (Silveira et al, 2020;Kivimäki et al, 2023). Those areas range from proper management of a continuous supply of food, water, and electricity, to the design and the provision of goods, housing, and infrastructure (Revilla-Cuesta et al, 2023).…”

IntroductionEngineering students should develop critical-thinking skills and insist on appropriate performance levels both from themselves and from their colleagues during their training. In doing so, they will adopt critical attitudes toward their own and others’ work. This will help them to successfully perform their future professional work with the highest standards.MethodsIn this research, peer- and self-assessments of in-class presentations through a survey-based program were used to analyze the development of critical-thinking skills among engineering students. The program included two key features: firstly, formative assessments were repeatedly conducted over time; secondly, teachers’ ratings were provided to students as comparative benchmarks. This approach encouraged students to reflect on their ratings over time using the reference of the teacher.ResultsFrom a general perspective, the analysis of survey responses showed that students assigned lower ratings in assessments conducted at a later stage, despite receiving higher ratings from their teachers over time. Therefore, students became more demanding throughout the experience in spite of the increased quality of their work according to the teachers’ assessments. Moreover, students tended to closely attune their evaluations to their teachers’ ratings. Comparing peer- and self-assessments, it was noted that students were more demanding toward the work of their peers in the long term, and especially their ability to explain concepts, than they were toward their own work. Nevertheless, high temporary increases were observed in students’ own self-assessments of presentation-file quality. Finally, students did not conduct overall assessments with the same level of demand as their teachers at any time during the experience.DiscussionThe results demonstrate that this program and similar initiatives are useful to help engineering students to develop critical-thinking skills and to broaden their expectations with respect to their own and their colleagues’ work. However, other relevant aspects could be evaluated in lengthier programs, such as whether the students’ levels of critical thinking and expectations are maintained when the comparative reference of a teacher’s assessment is unavailable.

“…The importance of sustainability is increasingly recognized, but the broader impacts of software systems on sustainability are still unknown. It is important to mention that some case studies have shown that the inclusion of sustainability factors since the beginning of the process is an asset and promotes the Sustainable Development Goals (Reis, Silveira, Carvalho, & Mata, 2020;Silveira, Reis, Santos, & Mamede, 2020;.…”

Information and communication technologies enhance the digital transformation of society by accelerating and impacting changes in people’s lives. This paper presents a technological solution, within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals that intends to implement initiatives to “Eradicate Poverty” and “Healthy Living”, namely an application that provides suggestions to optimize savings. The application has underlying concerns in the scope of Psychological Health, as an integral part of the Health of the human being, allowing to perceive the user’s state of mind. It is also considered relevant that people have good psychological health so that they can manage their resources in a rational and intelligent way. The agile methodology was behind the development of the project as a process that combines the iterative model and the incremental model. The Healthy Economy application thus contributes to raising awareness of the rational management of financial resources, promoting the Sustainable Development Goals.
